Hi - I suffer from alcoholism and when I'm not drinking am EXTREMELY anxious -- which is why I drink to feel normal. I hardly ever get rip roaring drunk.

Anyways - I have found that Valerian (sp) root helps - it's a natural herb you find at a health food store. It's very mild and doesn't knock you out but relaxes the nervous system and promotes peaceful sleep.

That's just something that works for me when I'm staying sober.
